Can I not just buy A4 Chrome fog rings if i already have a S-Line bumper???

[#1steelerfan]

Was doing some searching last night & seemed like the options are limited here... I'm stunned that if I already have the Sline package... i can't buy the chrome rings??? My car has the titanium package so mine are a glossy black... I prefer the chrome ring... I'm happy with front grill, just wish i had the chrome rings for the fogs...This just seems like an easy fix... am i ready that wrong???

I came from a bmw.. the bmw guys can go look up any part with ease at http://realoem.com/bmw/select.do do we have anything similar?

I believe these should be a direct swap.

8T0-853-101-2ZZ
8T0-853-102-2ZZ

Approx $24 a piece.

Those P/N's are for the A5 chrome rings, which many here have 'attached' to their non-S-Line fog grilles.
They are NOT a 'direct swap' onto S-Line fog grilles - they are differently shaped and will not fit S-Line.
See pic, S-Line rings on left, A5 rings on right


Long ago I 'converted' my non-S-Line fog grilles to S-Line look


Thus I'm intimately familiar with the differences.
I've never seen a P/N for the S-Line chrome rings, however, I don't have ETKA.

P/N codes : if first two digits are 8K part is for A4. If first two digits are 8T part is for A5.

OP, I have one S-Line chrome ring, left side - PM me if you want.

[audirings4]

I stand corrected.

How about these?

Yeah, I saw these too.. i just think it's ridiculous I can't buy just the chrome rings... b/c that seems to be the only different part... This option is a $100+ for both... I can't imagine those rings could cost more than $25 each...

Not. First ECS pic is of the S-Line fog grille - 2 horizontal blades.
Second pic, may be the right side Non-S-Line fog grille, inverted - has 3 horizontal blades. Or could be a VW fog light grille.
ECSTuning - from my experience, not a reliable source of actual pics of parts nor P/Ns - and overpriced, when compared to other sources.
S-Line fog grilles (from which you can extract, with care, the chrome fog light trim) can be had for approx. $45 each.

Meh, it's not the picture that's important. It's the part #
www.genuinevwaudiparts.com has them for $46 a piece.

Maybe find someone who is willing to swap them with you?

I'd probably swap you mine, but me being in Europe will defeat the purpose, plus I really don't want to drive around grill-less.

You cannot buy the rings separately - that's the way it is.

So, instead of buying the A4L grills, I could simply retrofit these chrome rings? When you say "attached", do you mean that they have to be glued or something?

[coolwater]

Yes you can attempt to glue them.
But the fit is not 100% and you have to be willing to roll-up your sleeves.
For the extra $40 to buy the A4L grilles, it was worth it to me.

100% agreed...much better way to go. I've seen them on all of the A4's in Shanghai and they look good.

#1SteelerFan,

Have you thought about purchasing the standard S-Line grilles, and selling your TI S-Line ones?

I am sure you will be able to get rid of them pretty quick to recoup some of the cost?

I am sure you will be able to find an S-Line bumper owner who fears chrome pretty easily.
